Those are my latest in rotation that I’m trying, testing and loving? See any of your faves? What are you using these days?
The Makeup Forever HD is my all time favorite. I really want to purchase the Hello Flawless by Benefits because I tested it out in the store and loved the results in the natural sunlight.
Thanks for sharing your run down!
I just got into the foundation game and I really like L’Oreal’s True Match Lumi Makeup in Classic Tan/Cappuccino (N7-8). It has SPF 20 and medium coverage yet it feels light on my skin. I hate that clown makeup feeling other foundations can have.
It helps even my skin tone and gives my skin a nice glow. Dewy, not sparkly.
I’ve been curious about trying Nuance by Salma Hayek’s foundation. Thanks for sharing, Afrobella!
Currently using M.A.C. NW45, UD Naked Skin 12.0 & Maybelline Fit Me 355. Each gives me something different but I like them all.
You have me wanting to try Fashion Fair’s minieralize! Haven’t scooped it up yet, but it is pretty sheer right?
None of the liquid foundations provide enough coverage for me anymore. Currently I use Coverfx 99% of the time, but MAC studio tech will also work if I use concealor.
I’m currently using Ester Lauder, an old bottle of Prescriptive, and I recently purchased a cream-to-powder foundation from Mary Kay. I really don’t have a favorite right now. I wore Tawny by Clinique for over 10 years. It was my favorite. They have since discontinued it.
I’m doing the Fashion Fair true finish in Honest Chocolate, a Black Opal liquid foundation & Luminess Airbrush foundation in the dark shades.
I love my MUFE, but I’m looking for something that photographs more natural looking (for me at least) I’m thinking of checking out Cover FX next time I’m at Sephora.
I am using my first ever foundation. MAC Matchmaster in 6.0 like you. Would never have thought we used the same shade (pointless since you don’t know me, heehee). I think I’ll finish the bottle very soon, and I’m so afraid to accept suggestions as to shades (the advice has been terrible where I live in terms of skin makeup, compared to where I bought the foundation and has led to some mistakes) that I think I’ll buy another bottle of Matchmaster for now… Oh well, it’s pretty good!
I am just happy knowing I’m not not the only gal out there with a few different foundation brands in rotation!
Liquid:
Lancome Teint Idole Ultra 24H, 470 Suede C. It is very difficult to use. It soaks into the skin so quickly, it can be hard to work with. The plus side is really stays put for the whole day. No touch ups. I add a drop of grapeseed or avocado oil to make it more pliable to blend.
Powders:
Jose Maran Argan Brightening Bronzer I use as a light foundation.
Just trying out Bare Minerals Original Foundation in Medium Dark. It’s supposed to be a neutral shade, but it is a bit tingy on the red side. But I am digging the way it covers, and it isn’t dry looking.
I am a dark brown Sister ,Mocha Chocolate.My favs are: Mac MatchMaker 9.0,Fashion Fair Mineral Finish in Mahogony,Nars in Hawaii andKevin Aucion SX15.Love Love My Makeup!!!!!
MAC Studio Fix Fluid in NW 45 & NW 47 and MUFE in 178…
I use and love Iman, Creme to Powder almost exclusively.
